1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 It’s officially Women’s History Month, and this year, instead of starting with statistics, I’m starting with a question: In 2026, are we elevating hot takes…or high character? When I was in seventh grade, I wrote a research paper on Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. I was fascinated by the way she carried herself through public scrutiny, personal grief, and cultural change. Today, we live in a very different media landscape. Algorithms reward outrage. Virality rewards speed. Money rewards attention. Integrity? Not so much. In this episode, I explore: What changed between the era of shared cultural narratives and today’s fragmented feeds Why we may be living in a “trust recession” How money, clicks, and status shape modern leadership The danger of urgency-driven decision making Why reluctant, values-aligned leaders may be the ones we need most And how moral leadership starts inside each of us As we kick off Women’s History Month 2026, this conversation sets the foundation for the stories ahead: women who embody high character in big and small ways. This isn’t about nostalgia...I mean kind of. I love waxing nostalgic. But this conversation is about personal leadership and responsibility. It starts with us. 🔗 Links Referenced in This Episode Malcolm Gladwell – Revisionist History Podcast &quot;When Will Met Grace:&quot; https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/revisionist-history/when-will-met-grace Wellness Wheel (Life Balance Assessment Tool) https://www.the-restorationproject.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Wellness-Wheel.pdf Values Exercise https://www.the-restorationproject.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Refining-Your-Values-1.pdf The Restoration Project – Weekly Leadership Momentum Emails https://the-restorationproject.myflodesk.com/newsletter The Found Podcast with Molly Knuth http://www.mollyknuthmedia.com/podcast <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/40269550/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/199182775
